Standardize the comment editors across WL.
There's a lot of variation between the comment editors used in Windows Live (profile notes, PMs, web-based blog editor, blog comments, guestbook, group discussions, feedback, etc.), and I'm not just talking about the exclusion of rich-formatting (more...)
Create a uniform set of editing/formatting tools for all comment editors. I've got no problem with turning on/off features depending on their context (that makes a lot of sense), but maybe add more granularity, so that some tools can be disabled (more...)

Cannot Delete WL Group
Whenever I try to delete a group, I get this error:
"Sorry, we can't delete the group right now. Please try again later. Go back to your group"
(The "Go back to your group" originally, on the group (more...)

SHIFT click and CTRL click in Windows Live Hotmail
Currently SHIFT clicking or CTRL clicking on a message opens up that message in a new tab which is counter intuitive
Make SHIFT/CTRL click function as it does in Outlook and virtually every other mail client available: to cherrypick message in the case of CTRL click and to select a whole range of consecutive messages in the case of SHIFT click

Messenger slow to open from system tray
When double-clicking on messenger or right-clicking on messenger and selecting "open messenger" from the context menu is quite slow (it historically has been). If you open it a second time it's faster. It doesn't seem to matter how (more...)
Make it faster or at least give some indication that it's loading.

Centralize Permissions
When setting permissions on the various Windows Live components that make up the web space (i.e. profiles, notes, social, etc.) it is tedious at best to set permissions for each and every component.
Currently from the permissions page (more...)
Provide a single page that lets you set the access for each component. If the user want to drill in on more detail for the component just provide a link for that.

[Groups] TMI on WL Groups' What’s New list.
If a group member start’s a new discussion, the What’s New list includes the name of the user, name of the discussion, and the name of the group (e.g., Greg posted Stuff on Group). Outside the group that makes sense, but inside the group, the group (more...)
Inside the context of the group, the update needs to be amended to only include the name of the user and discussion (e.g., Greg posted Stuff). The group name is not necessary inside the group pages.

[Mail] Drop the "Hot" in Hotmail
It just makes the brand too confusing.
Windows Live Mail is sufficient.

[People] Expose more standard contact fields.
It seems like every contact management tool has its own collection of fields, which is immensely frustrating.
Either provide a better set of standard fields (signifcant other, children, multiple phones), or provide a mechanism for creating your own. At a minimum, WL people fields should be consistent with those in WL Mail. After all, aren’t these all Microsoft (more...)

[People] Show me all categories to which a contact has been assigned.
Right now, I just sort of blindly poke people into categories and then I have to navigate to the category to see who’s in it. There's no way to see all of the categories to which a given contact has been assigned.
I’d like to be able to see that Jeffrey is in Friends, Colleagues, and Windows Live. Please show me that somewhere, perhaps in the main list or contact view page.

Add a contact view of Group by Online/Offline Status
You used to be able to group your contacts by online/offline status.
Add the view for grouping by online/offline status. If the Discussion Groups had their own tab then the contact panel could be viewed by categories or by contact status. This makes it tremendously easier to find your contacts when you have a lot of them (more...)

Add SharedView back to Messenger
The SharedView activity is no longer available in messenger.
This has been an oversight in past versions of Messenger and was added back when it was discovered missing. I guess no one has noticed so I will bring it up. Please add it back as an activity as SharedView is a great tool that is not given enough attention.

Bring back Shared Folders
I know you took them out for a reason or whatever. And I know that there is Live Sync. But it took me forever to get my dad to use Shared Folders, and I don't look forward to teaching him something new.
Please integrate Live Sync with Messenger in a way that is similar to how Shared Folders used to work. I believe this has been done with WLPG to sync photos?? I know that we are limited to 20 Synced Folders which won't be enough for most people's (more...)
